Korea Expressway No.71983-1997 (Road Sign) T-Shirt - Design Description
This t-shirt features a design inspired by the historical road signs of South Korea, specifically those used on expressways from 1983 to 1997. The artwork centers around a stylized shield, reminiscent of the signage that guided drivers along the nation's highways during that era.
Visual Elements & Symbolism
The design prominently displays a route number, "71983-1997," set within a bold and classic font, paying homage to the aesthetics of early Korean expressway signs. The inclusion of the year range "1983-1997" serves as a historical marker, denoting the period when this particular style of road sign was prevalent. This detail adds a layer of nostalgia, connecting the wearer with a specific moment in South Korean history.
The shield itself, a common shape for road signage, symbolizes guidance, direction, and the organized infrastructure of the Korean expressway system. The use of clear, legible typography within the shield reflects the function of the sign: to communicate critical information quickly and effectively. The overall aesthetic is one of retro simplicity, capturing the essence of a bygone era in road travel.
